It’s been a hell of a year. We started 2016 with a business plan, some lofty goals and lots of ambition, but that’s about it. Everything we “created” was just abstract ideas written on paper and there wasn’t much else in terms of tangible progress or results. Fast forward 12 months and we have a real company, a construction site, and a much clearer vision of what this brewery is going to be.

2016 was a year we’ll never forget, filled with moments that were exhilarating, humbling, surprising, frustrating, and (most importantly) really enjoyable. We made lots of friends at other breweries and were constantly reminded why this industry is so amazing. We have a lot of work in the months ahead, but to quote the great Tom Brady, “I didn’t come this far to only come this far.” And with that inspiration we look ahead confidently to 2017.

Here’s a recap of 2016…
